Here's a magazine pic of a bed I made out of a 40 something International pickup. The kid sleeps in the box {lengthened to fit an Xtra long mattress} and the cab is fully "functional". I shortened the steering column, shortened the glovebox, the Emergency brake works, and the shifter. The guages all read perfect and I turned the odometer to read the kid's birthday . I made the frame out of 2" tubing , used a f-100 fibregl*** rear fender, and a VW front fender. I had to make the cab floor removeable "cause it all had to go in thru the window as it would not go thru the house. I finished it off by painting the kid's name on the door. I warned the kid's mother that when he's older he may "accidently " put his girlfriend's head thru the back window !!!
It was just some home painting and decorating magazine out last summer. A fenderless A tub would make a neat one too !
Thats the best thing ive ever seen! i allways wanted one of those indy car beds when i was alittle kid in the 80's but i never got one heres what i built last monday. we got a new couch so i wanted to make a nicer table. its a work in progress and its a little crooked. i need to buy a leval and get a bigger garage dont worry only sbc parts were injured for this venture Bryan
Is it wrong to be 24 and want one for myself? Maybe a 59 Caddy Convert, with no seats? Painted in pinK............oh yeah!! ** Brandy
I checked this out thinkin' ,,What the hell does a furniture show have to do with traditional cars? Damn,It's great!,,,,the problem as I see it is now ya got some of us thinkin' about this for our kids,grandkids or even ourselves,,,,,,I already got more projects that I will live to finish! Thanks a lot! HRP
rollie...............you should have posted another pic of that *****'n table you striped!!! All we need know is some chairs.
here's what i want to know: is the front end of the truck crashing through the ajoining wall into the next room?? A proper "wreck room" maybe? < worse joke ever.... looks really nice
That is some really cool furniture! You guys should consider yourself lucky. If I tried to put an engine block table in our living room my wife would kick my ***!
That truck bed is the coolest. What was mom's reaction to the girlfriends head in the back window? Here's a friends end table and clock. It's not a traditional looking motor but it's sorta cool. Yes the clock is a real skirt. Clark
